Did you know you can upgrade your M14 or M1A without sending it into our shop?
That's right. Our M14 Warfighter Gas System can be done at the user level.
What is it? What does it come with?
The “Warfighter” gas system includes our M80HT Gas Cylinder, our SBR Hard Chrome Piston, and our M80HT Standard Gas Plug.
These parts are the same ones that come standard on the Crazy Horse rifles, and have been combat-proven by 2ID, 10th MTN, 4th ID, 101st ABN as well as many others.
The spindle valve is made out of 17-4 stainless steel and heat treated and then salt bath nitrited to our specifications. So it is basically double-heat treated. It doesn't get any better than that!
The standard GI version is just stainless and moderately heat treated. Ours is impervious to corrosion and erosion, and will most likely last a lifetime.
Our gas system may improve accuracy. The design is mainly for low maintenance and high reliability. In combat, nobody has time to do any gas cylinder maintenance for the navy.
We developed this for Crane Naval Surface Warfare, who field equipment to the Navy Seals. It was developed for the MK14 MOD 0, MOD 1, and MOD 2.
Our piston is 440 cutlery steel. It is heat treated to 58 Rockwell (+/-). It has been hard chromed to our specifications and ground to a number 9 finish on the major diameter, which is like glass.
The grooves on our piston have a full radius bottom, instead of square like the GI issue version. That way you can wipe the carbon out easier.
The gas plug and gas cylinder are made from stainless steel and double heat treated.
If you want to buy it, you can do so on our website.

Smith
Enterprise received a purchase order from the Navy Seals for 400 each of their
premium Vortex
Flash Hiders for the MK48 Machine Gun.
The MK48 Vortex is Sound Suppressor capable and blocks over 95% of the
flash. The version of the Vortex purchased
by the Navy Seals is the G6A3 flash hider that includes the new external ten-pitch
radial bottom helical grooves, which aid in the easy removal of the Wind Talker
Sound Suppressor.
The contract (H92240-13-P-0250) awarded was the first
contract award after many years of rigorous testing of the MK48 Vortex Flash
Hider by Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center.
Crane was so impressed with the MK48, it awarded Smith Enterprise a
National Stock Number (1005-01-600-8577) and also safety certified the device. Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center is the
contracting division for the Navy Seals.
Crane’s original intent was to approve the best flash
hider that will later be used as a mounting platform for Smith Enterprise MK48 Wind
Talker Sound Suppressor. Smith
Enterprise previously bid on a Sound Suppressor solicitation for the MK48 in 2010
and was beat by FN, who has no Sound Suppressor experience. FN has yet to produce its first Sound
Suppressor for the Navy and is still attempting to make an integral barrel Sound
Suppressor – something that the military has tried to make for decades without
success. Smith Enterprise is hopeful
that the Navy Seals see the value in Smith’s products and will follow up with a
Sound Suppressor purchase order. The
Smith Enterprise Sound Suppressor for the MK48 is complete with testing and is
ready for delivery.
Smith Enterprise also makes a Blank Firing Adapter
for the MK48 Machine Gun, which is a unique advantage for the Navy Seals
should they want to train with blanks.
The Flash Hiders, Sound Suppressors, and BFAs can all be
purchased on GSA
Schedule GS-07F-0144X.
